Problems solved by technology

The size of the process sand box can reach 1500×750×750mm, and the layer thickness can reach 0.3mm. It can be used to manufacture large and medium-sized molds, but its disadvantages are obvious: because the resin is sprayed on the entire surface of the sand bed, after the mold is made, it is Surrounded by resin-containing sand, it will make it difficult to clean the sand when taking out the sand mold, requiring special treatment procedures, and also affects the accuracy and surface quality of the sand mold.
[0008] The above-mentioned moldless casting processes all need to use expensive large-scale special equipment, which is difficult to use and maintain, and the production cost is high. It has no advantages for the production of small castings and is not suitable for small foundry enterprises.

Abstract

The invention relates to a metal die-free fast casting method based on the fused deposition technology. The casting method is characterized by comprising the steps of 1, preparing mixed ceramic and plastic filamentous material; 2, preparing three-dimensional CAD data of cast shell molds; 3, printing the cast shell molds; 4, carrying out degreasing; 5, carrying out sintering; 6, pouring molten metal; 7, carrying out post-processing to obtain needed castings. The casting method has the advantages that needed equipment is simple, the cost is low, the production cycle is short, the accuracy of the castings is high and there is no need to set a draft angle or arrange a parting surface, can be used for casting formation of various kinds of metal and is especially suitable for fast casting formation of small and medium parts with complex cavities.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a metal casting method, in particular to a moldless rapid casting method based on a fused deposition process, and is especially suitable for rapid casting of medium and small metal parts with complex mold cavities. Background technique [0002] Casting technology has a history of about 6,000 years. Since it can cast various blanks with complex shapes, such as boxes, beds, frames, etc., and it has wide adaptability and can be casted with various metals commonly used in industry, so Casting remains one of the most important manufacturing techniques to this day. However, the flexibility of traditional casting technology is poor, and the molds and molds need to be redone if the structure and size of the parts change slightly, and the manufacturing of molds and molds takes a long time, and the cost of single-piece and small-batch production is high. [0003] In recent years, rapid prototyping technology has developed rapidly, and h...
